JEWEL-MOUNTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 18, 1906.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALFRED A. BOIS- MAURE, a citizen of the UnitedStates, resid ing at New York, in the county of New York and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in J ewel-Mountings, of which the following is a specification, such as willenable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

This invention relates to jewel-mountings, and particularly tojewel-mountings for hatpins; and the object thereof is to provide a pinof this class having a head a part or all of which is kept in a constantstate of vibration, said head or a part thereof being formed torepresent jewels or being provided with jewel-mountings whereby owing tothe vibratory member a brilliant and beautiful effect is produced.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate partsof my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters ineach of the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a hat-pin,the head of which is vibratorily mounted and consisting of a hollow ballor body having jewels set therein, said head being shown in section;Fig. 2, a similar view showing the support of the head also in section;Fig. 3, a view similar to Fig. 2, in which the head is composed of asolid body; Fig. 4, a view similar to Fig. 2, in which the head consistsof two concentrically-arranged hollow bodies, the inner one beingvibratorily mounted and the outer body beingprovided with holes oropenings through which the inner body may be seen; Fig. 5, a viewsimilar to Fig. 4, in which the outer body is vibratorily mounted; Fig.6, a section on the line 6 6 of Figs. 2 and 4., and Fig. 7 a section onthe line 7 7 of Fig. 2.

In the accompanying drawings all of the figures are on an enlargedscale, Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, being on the same scale, and Figs. 6 and7 being on a still larger scale.

In the practice of my invention as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 6 I providea hat-pin a, having a hollow ball or body I) for a head. To the pin a issecured a collar or similar device 0, having a hub 0 provided with alaterallyprojecting finger c and the hub c fits loosely andconcentrically in a tube or sleeve (Z, secured in one side of the ballor body I) and ranging radially therein. In one side of the tubed is alongitudinal slot (Z and secured to the pin a within the tube d are twospiral springs 6, one end of said springs being secured to the pin andthe other being passed out through the slot (1 into the tube d and beingbent over and secured to the side of said tube, as shown at e. The tube(Z is provided at its lower end with a collar (1, which is se cured in acorresponding opening in the ball or body I), and said tube is providedat its inner or other end with a similar collar d". It will thus be seenthat the ball or body I) is only connected with the pin a by means ofthe springs e, and said springs are formed from fine spring metal, andthe ball or body I) is kept thereby in a constant state of vibration, nomatter in what position the pin may be held, and said ball or body I) isprovided with a plurality of jewels f, any desired number of which maybe employed.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a modification in which a ball or body g isemployed as the head of the pin, and said ball or body is composed ofcolored glass or other ornamental material and may be cut or formed ofany desired shape or provided with facets in the manner of ordinaryjewels, and secured to and 'inclosing the tube (1 is a socket or thimbleg, which is secured in the ball or body 9 and incloses both the tube (Zand the springs e. The socket or thimble g is secured to the collars (Zand d in any desired manner, or the socket or thimble 9 may be securedin the ball or body 9 by cement in any desired 1nanner, and with thisform of construction the ball or body 9 will be kept in a constant stateof vibration, the same as the ball or body I). (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2.)

In Fig. 4 I have shown another modification in which two balls or bodiesh and i are employed to form the head of the pin, said balls or bodiesbeing placed one within the other, and in this form of construction theinner ball or body i is secured to the collar (1 in the same manner asthe ball or body I) in Figs. 1 and 2, while the outer ball or body 7b issecured to the collar 7', which is secured to the pin a and which isprovided with a hub 3' the collar and the hub 9' thereof being similarto the collar and the hub 0 thereof, (shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3,) thehub j being provided with a finger y' similar to the finger 0 In thisform of construction the tube d and the springs e are exactly the sameas shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and the inner ball or body & will be keptin a constant state of vibration no matter in what position the pin maybe held. The outer body or ball h is provided with holes or openings7L2, any desired number of which may be employed and through which theinner ball or body i may be seen, and the inner ball or body 1) may bemade of any desired material, colored glass, translucent material, or ofmetal, and said ball or body may be provided with brilliants, jewels, orother ornamental devices which may be seen through the holes or openingskg of the outer ball or body h.

In Fig. 5 I have shown another modification, in which .two concentricballs or bodies is and m constitute the head of the pin, both of saidballs or bodies being hollow and one of them being placed within theother, and in this form of construction the collar 7' is employed andthe tube (1 is secured to the outer ball or body m, while the pin a issecured to the inner ball or body 76, and the tube (1 passes looselyinto the inner ball or body k, as shown at 0, and the end of the pin ain this form of construction is also secured to the inner ball or body76, as shown at n, and with this form of construction the outer ball orbody m will be kept in a constant state of vibration, no matter in whatposition the pin be held. The outer ball or body m is provided withholes or openings m any desired number of which may be employed andthrough which the inner ball or body 76 may be seen, and said inner ballor body 76, as in the case of the inner ball or body i shown in Fig. 4,may be made of any desired material, may be ornamented in any desiredway, or may be provided with jewels which may be seen through the holesor openings It will be apparent that the finger c of the hub c of thecollar 0 in the form of construction shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, limitthe rotary or vibratory movement of the tube 61 and the part or partsconnected therewith, and this is also true of the finger 1' of the hub jof the collar j, (shown in Figs. 4 and 5,) and the movement of the partyusing or wearing the pin is sufficient to give the head of the pin or apart thereof a constant oscillating or vibratory movement, and it willbe observed that that part of the slot (1 of the tube (1 through whichthe fingers c and 1' project is larger than the remainder of said slot.

My improved pin or the head thereof may be made very ornamental andattractive, so

as to produce a brilliant effect or appearance, and it will be apparentthat my improved pin may be used for many other purposes, as well as forthe purpose of a hat-pin.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A pin'provided adjacent to one end thereof with a collar having ahub provided with a laterally-directed finger, a tube inclos- 5 ing saidhub and said end of said pin and provided in one side with an openingthrough which said finger projects, spiral springs mounted on said endof the pin and one end of which is secured thereto and the other to saidtube, and a head member for said pin into which said tube is inserted,substantially as shown and described.

4. A pin provided near one end with a col- 5. A pin provided near oneend with a collar having a hub provided with a laterallydirected finger,a tube inclosing said hub and the said end of the pin a=nd provided inone side with an opening through which said finger projects, spiralsprings mounted on said end of the pin and secured thereto and to saidtube, and a head composed of separate parts one of which is placedwithin the other and one of which is connected with said pin and theother'with said tube whereby one of the parts of the head is vibratorilysupported, and the outer member of the head being provided with openingsthrough which the inner member may be seen, substantially as shown anddescribed.
